Do they sell Samsung S7 Edge with Snapdragon 820 in thailand?

[BeefSlapper]

Hi, can we buy S7 with SD 820? somewhere or only Exynos models?

I think main stores sells slower exynos models, but wonder if you can get somewhere Snapdragon model?

Like in TukCom etc. ..

Thx

[WhizBang]

Have you searched Lazada?

[KhunBENQ]

Is it possible to identify this internal on a shopping site?

Until today I did not even know of these two variants.

From what the net says it is very unlikely that you get the "US" snapdragon variant in a shop here.

I am looking forward to experts comment on which is better.

Most of the web says Exynos if faster

[Tywais]

Any reason why the SD 820 over the Exynos? The Exynos is 8 core vs the 820's quad and reviews show it to be faster performer.

I was also checking out the HTC10, when I read something derogatory about the company and checked their stock quote. Looks like HTC is hanging on by its fingernails, and I decided - for myself - that I'd rather not invest in an expensive smart phone if the company that manufactured it might not be around long thereafter. I hate to trash what might be a great product, but IMHO, product support for the duration of time that I expect to use it is also very important to me. My existing smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy S3, has served me well for the past 4 years, and that's the yardstick I've decided to use for the next one. Will HTC still be around, and supporting the HTC10, 4 years from now? Unfortunately, that's pretty iffy to me:

Numchai are listing both processors.... sorta.

"Processor: Qualcomm MSM8996 Snapdragon 820 Exynos 8890 Octa Core."

On spec I like the HTC 10. what really puts me off though is friends that have owned HTC phones and when problems arise after sales support here in Thailand has been pretty much non existent for them.

He's got it correct.

There are two variants of the Samsung Galaxy S7: a US version with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 quad-core processor and the International version with the Exynos 8890 octa-core processor.

It seems they indeed sell the Exynos version around Asia. Thailand and even HK have no chance of getting the Snapdragon.

That is bad news. Not only for international LTE bands, if you would go to the US. But mostly for the community maintenance of the OS.

While the Snapdragon version will have a CyanogenMod version highly likely, that is not be expected for Exynos. Currently it seems even root is damn hard to achieve on the Exynos.

Buying one in Europe or the US (eventually with shipping) seem to be the one option I currently see.
